PREFACE 


Never  since  the  invention  of  printing 
has  a  selection  of  Type  been  submitted 
to  printers  so  extensive  as  this  —  so 
unequaled  in  originality  and  effective- 
ness of  design,  ivith  series  so  complete 
and  so  ivell  manufactured.  The  Type 
Faces,  Borders  and  Ornaments  excel 
in  design  —  which  is  the  chief  merit  of 
type—  and  are  cast  in  the  justly  cele- 
brated Copper  Alloy,  the  most  durable 
of  type  metals.  A  printing  office  com- 
pletely supplied  <with  the  products  of 
this  Company  is  worth  far  more  for 
either  use  or  sale  than  one  made  up 
from  the  productions  of  incomplete 
foundries.  It  is  conceded  that  the 
Type  manufactured  by  this  Company 
is  the  standard  for  excellence  through- 
out the  fworld,  and  every  endeavor  is 
made  to  advance  that  standard.  The 
realization  of  this  endeavor  has  given 
our  customers  the  best  Type  in  the 
past,  and  insures  for  them  the  best  in 
the  future.

Roman  and  German  Body  Type  is  put  up  in  fonts  of  25,  50,  100  pounds,  or  some  multiple  of 
these  weights.  Included  in  each  25  pounds  are  5  pounds  of  Spaces  and  Quads,  and  same  propor- 
tion in  larger  fonts. 

Italic  and  Accents  will  not  be  sent  with  Roman  fonts  unless  specially  ordered.  Smallest  font 
of  Italic  furnished  weighs  5  pounds.  A  pair  of  cases  holds  50  pounds  of  body  type. 


Allowance  for  Old  Type  and  Other  Metals 


Old  type  (clean  and  unmixed  with  other  metals),  electrotypes,  leads  and  brass,  delivered  at 
foundry,  will  be  taken  at  current  prices  in  exchange  for  new  type  or  printing  material. 

Customers  sending  in  old  metal  are  requested  to  mark  their  names  on  all  packages,  and  to 
forward  by  mail  a  shipping  receipt  or  bill  of  lading,  with  the  net  weight  of  each  kind  of  material, 
as  soon  as  shipment  is  made.  Compliance  with  this  request  will  aid  in  identifying  shipments, 
and  prevent  errors.  Ship  as  "old  metal"  to  secure  low  freight  rate. 

.  SPECIAL  NOTICE. — Zinc  plates,  metal  containing  zinc,  or  type  and  other  plates  mixed  with 
zinc  plates,  and  stereotype  plates,  will  not  be  received  at  any  price.  Type,  electrotype  plates, 
leads  and  brass  must  be  packed  separately,  as  the  value  of  each  differs.

Ladies  and  Gentlemen: 

Since  the  printing  of  the  call  for  the 
regular  meeting,  a  petition  has  been  received 
from  the  unemployed  members  of  our  Union 
asking  that  some  action  be  taken  at  the  next 
meeting  for  their  temporary  relief.  This  is 
an  important  matter  and  calls  for  the  care- 
ful consideration  of  the  membership,  and  a 
full  attendance  on  Saturday  evening,  December 
26,  at  five  o'clock,  at  16  Commerce  avenue, 

is  earnestly  requested. 

THE  PRESIDENT.

The  vastness  of  the  universe  must  render 
foolish  the  supposition  that  this  planet  is 
the  only  inhabited  one;  and  the  unity  of

DESCRIPTION  OF  SELF  SPACING  TYPE 


THE  common  widths  of  book  pages,  mis- 
cellaneous jobs  and  newspaper  columns  are 
some  number  of  Pica  ems,  therefore  the  Pica 
em  is  taken  as  the  basis  for  Self  Spacing 
type.  The  thinnest  space  in  all  fonts  is  some 
exact  fraction  of  a  Pica,  and  this  fraction 
of  Pica  is  called  the  unit  of  measure.  All 
characters,  spaces  and  quads  in  the  font  are 
made  some  exact  multiple  of  this  unit  in 
width,  so  that  the  sizes  of  all  faces  will  work 
perfectly  together  in  the  regular  labor-sav- 
ing measures.  This  unit  of  measure  may 
be  one-sixth,  one-seventh,  one-eighth,  one- 
ninth,  etc.,  of  a  Pica  em,  as  may  be  desired, 
to  produce  condensed,  medium  or  extended 
faces.  The  following  table  gives  the  sizes  of 
bodies,  units  of  measure,  and  lengths  of  al- 
phabets. In  the  first  column  will  be  found 
the  various  sizes  of  bodies  ;  in  the  second, 
the  number  of  units  contained  in  one  em 
Pica,  and  in  the  third  the  measurements  of 
a  lower  case  alphabet  in  the  ems  of  each 
particular  body :

Any  compositor  can  see  that  no  combina- 
tion of  units  can  be  made  that  will  not 
come  within  a  certain  number  of  exact  units 
of  filling  a  line.  If  a  line  of  matter  lacks,  it 
must  lack  one  or  more  exact  units. 

Self  Spacing  type  sets  line  for  line  with  the 
ordinary  Roman,  where  the  lengths  of  the 
alphabets  are  the  same. 

Repeated  experiments  with  the  new  type 
have  shown  that  the  average  compositor 
gains  about  twenty-five  per  cent,  in  speed, 
with  no  trouble  in  justification  whatever. 


In  the  foregoing  table  will  be  found  a 
Nonpareil  with  one-twelfth  of  Pica  as  the 
unit  of  measure.  This  is  one-sixth  of  the 
body  of  Nonpareil,  or  the  six-to-em  space, 
and  preserves  in  this  particular  font  the  old 
three-to-em  space  and  the  old  en  and  em 
quads.  The  same  is  true  of  the  Brevier  on 
one-ninth,  Bourgeois  on  one-eighth,  and 
Pica  on  one-sixth  of  Pica. 

In  a  complete  font  of  the  old  kind  of  body 
type  there  are  about  190  widths  of  bodies. 
Appended  is  a  table  showing  the  different 
widths  of  bodies  of  Self  Spacing.  It  will  be 
readily  seen  that  there  are  but  nine  widths 
of  bodies  all  told,  and  that  the  four-unit 
width  predominates  largely  over  any  other, 
there  being  fifty-nine  characters  of  this 
width.  We  omit  the  Italic  characters  from 
the  table,  as  they  go  on  the  same  widths  of 


e  ,  as  a  is  lour  units  wine  ana 
three,  "e"  and  one  unit  space  justify  the 
line  perfectly.  Even  this  measure  of  trouble 
is  avoided  in  many  instances.  As  twenty- 
eight  of  the  most  common  lower  case  char- 
acters are  of  the  same  width,  they  can  be 
substituted  for  one  another  without  the 
change  of  a  space. 

This  type  is  of  greater  durability,  as  it  is 
always  on  its  feet  and  is  therefore  not  worn 
by  "pounding." 

In  tabular  work  there  is  a  great  gain  in 
speed  and  neatness.  By  the  addition  of  a 
new  character,  viz:  "  |  ",  it  is  easy  to  set 
perpendicular  lines  of  any  length,  line  upon 
line. 

It  may  be  repeated  that  the  compositor 
has  nothing  to  learn  in  Self  Spacing  type. 
There  is  but  a  single  direction  to  be  given — 
to  set  that  which  looks  like  the  em  quad 
(six  unit  quad)  with  the  nick  out. 

Whoever  will  study  the  principle  on  which 
Self  Spacing  type  is  based,  will  readily  ad- 
mit that  it  is  bound  to  secure  easy  and  per- 
fect justification,  greatly  increased  speed 
and  consequent  enormous  saving,  simplicity 
and  rapidity  of  proof  correction,  and  in- 
creased accuracy  and  ease  in  the  setting  of

This  piece  of  composition  was  done  in  a 
12%-em  measure  stick,  and  set  line  upon 
line  in  the  ordinary  manner  of  straight 
reading  matter,  the  lower  part  being  leaded 
to  show  the  method  of  setting. 


To  further  explain  and  illustrate  the  ease 
with  which  table  work  is  done  with  Self 
Spacing  type,  we  show  above  an  example 
of  miscellaneous  justifications,  which  is  ab- 
solutely impossible  to  accomplish  with  the 
old  kind  of  type.  In  column  No.  1  the  first 
line  begins  with  the  lower  case  "i",  two 
units  wide,  which  is  folio-wed  by  the  upright 
dash  "|",  two  units,  and  the  characters  "a", 
four  units,  "n",  four  units,  "d",  four  units, 
comprising  sixteen  units  to  accurately  fill 
the  column.  The  second  line  begins  with 
the  letter  "s,"  three  units  wide,  which 
throws  the  space  rule  one  unit  further  to 
the  right  than  in  the  preceding  line.  In  each 
succeeding  line  lower  case  characters  are 
used  to  the  total  width  of  sixteen  units,  and 
such  characters  are  chosen  for  the  first  part 
thereof  as  will  admit  of  advancing  the  space 
rule  to  the  right  exactly  one  unit  in  each 
succeeding  line. 

In  the  other  columns  the  same  plan  is  fol- 
lowed, the  only  change  being  the  substitu- 
tion of  caps,  small  caps,  figures,  etc.,  for  the 
lower  case  characters,  all  columns  coming 
perfectly  justified  inside  the  perpendicular 
lines.

51A  POINT  SELF  SPACING  ROMAN  NO  19M  Unit  of  measure  of  this  font  is  12  to  Pica 

THE  common  widths  of  book  pages,  miscellaneous  jobs  and  newspaper  columns 
are  some  number  of  Pica  ems.  therefore  the  Pica  em  is  taken  as  the  basis  for  Self 
Spacing  type.  The  thinnest  space  in  fonts  is  some  exact  fraction  of  a  Pica,  and 
this  fraction  of  Pica  is  called  the  unit  of  measure.  All  characters,  spaces  and 
quads  in  the  font  are  made  some  exact  multiple  of  this  unit  in  width,  so  that 
the  sizes  of  all  faces  will  work  perfectly  together  in  the  regular  labor-saving 
measures.  This  unit  of  measure  may  be  one-sixth,  one-seventh,  one-eighth,  one- 
ninth,  etc.,  of  a  Pica  em,  as  may  be  desired,  to  produce  condensed,  medium  or 
extended  faces.  A  detailed  description  is  printed  in  this  Specimen  Book.  Self 
Spacing  type  sets  line  for  line  with  the  ordinary  Roman,  where  the  lengths  of  the 
alphabets  are  the  same.  Repeated  experiments  with  the  new  type  have  shown 
that  the  average  compositor  gains  about  twenty-five  per  cent,  in  speed,  with  no 
trouble  in  justification  whatever.  In  the  matter  of  the  correction  of  proofs  the 
gain  is  enormous.  Say  there  is  an  "a"  for  an  "e";  as  "a"  is  four  units  wide  and 
e"  three,  "e"  and  a  one-unit  space  justify  the  line  perfectly.  Even  this  measure  of 
trouble  is  avoided  in  many  instances.  As  twenty-eight  of  the  most  common 
lower  case  characters  are  of  the  same  width,  they  can  be  substituted  for  one  an- 
other  without  the  change  of  a  space.  This  type  is  of  greater  durability  as  it  is 
always  on  its  feet  and  is  therefore  not  worn  by  " pounding."  In  tabular  work 
there  is  a  great  gain  in  speed  and  neatness.  It  may  be  repeated  that  the  coin-

in  which  the  date  is  written  in.  The  oldest  type-printing  containing  an  authentic  printed 
date  is  the  Psalter  of  1457,  which  bears  the  imprint  of  John  Fust  of  Mentz  and  Peter 
Schoeffer  of  Gernszheim.  We  also  know  of  a  Latin  Bible,  in  folio,  forty-two  lines  to  the 
page,  in  double  columns,  one  copy  of  which  contains  the  written  statement  of  the  illumina- 
tor that  his  work  on  the  book  was  finished  at  Mentz  in  the  year  1456.  There  is  another 
edition  of  a  Latin  Bible  in  double  columns,  thirty-six  lines  to  the  page,  which  was 
probably  done  before  1459.  All  these  pieces  of  printing  are  correlated.  The  types 
are  of  different  sizes,  but  of  marked  resemblance  as  to  cut  or  style.  We  shall  not  here 
discuss  the  relative  claims  of  Fust  and  SchcefFer  to  the  invention.  It  is  enough  to  say 
that  it  is  the  general  belief  that  these  books  are  the  work,  separately  or  jointly,  of  Guten- 
berg, Fust,  and  Schoeffer  ;  and  that  they  were  "  made  by  a  new  and  unheard-of  art,"  or, 
as  the  Psalter  of  1457  explicitly  states,  "by  the  masterly  invention  of  printing  and  also  of 
type-making."  In  this  notice,  as  in  other  notices  by  early  writers,  we  find  the  implica- 
tion that  the  real  invention  of  printing  was  the  invention  of  practical  types.  One  of  these 
books,  the  Bible  of  forty-two  lines,  is  emphatically  The  Book,  not  because  it  is  the  Bible 
and  to  be  regarded  as  the  Book  of  Books,  but  because  it  is  generally  regarded  as  the  first

THE  oldest  type-printing  containing  an  authentic  date  is  a  Letter  of  Indulgence  dated 
1454,  in  which  the  date  is  written  in.  The  oldest  type-printing  containing  an  authentic 
printed  date  is  the  Psalter  of  1457,  which  bears  the  imprint  of  John  Fust  of  Mentz  and 
Peter  Schoeffer  of  Gernszheirn.  We  also  know  of  a  Latin  Bible,  in  folio,  forty-two  lines 
to  the  page,  in  double  columns,  one  copy  of  which  contains  the  written  statement  of 
the  illuminator  that  his  work  on  the  bo'ok  was  finished  at  Mentz  in  the  year  1456. 
There  is  another  edition  of  a  Latin  Bible  in  double  columns,  thirty-six  lines  to  the  page, 
which  was  probablv  done  before  1459-  All  these  pieces  of  printing  are  correlated. 
The  types  are  of  different  sizes,  but  of  marked  resemblance  as  to  cut  or  style.  We  shall 
not  here  discuss  the  relative  claims  of  Fust  and  Schoaffer  to  the  invention.'  It  is  enough 
to  say  that  it  is  the  general  belief  that  these  books  are  the  work,  separately'  or  jointly, 
of  Gutenberg,  Fust,  and  Schoaffer  ;  and  that  they  were  "made  by  a  new  aiid  unheard- 
of  art,"  or,  as  the  Psalter  of  1457  explicitly  states,  "by  the  masterly  invention  of 
printing  and  also  of  type-making."  In  this  notice,  as  in  other  notices  by  early  writers, 
we  find  the  implication  that  the  real  invention  of  printing  was  the  invention  of  practi- 
cal types.  One  of  these  books,  the  Bible  of  forty-two  lines,  is  emphatically  The  Book, 
net  because  it  is  the  Bible  and  to  be  regarded  as  the  Book  of  Books,  but  because  it  is  gener- 
ally regarded  as  the  first  printed  book.  It  is  not  only  the  typographic  editio  princeps  of

A  COMPOSITOR,  unless  he  is  a  natural  genius,  should  spend  long  years  in  study  and  patient 
practice,  cultivating  his  taste  and  strengthening  his  judgment,  before  he  enters  far  into  the 
domain  of  original  designing,  if  he  wishes  to  give  better  satisfaction  to  his  employers  and 
to  the  customers  of  his  employers.  New  beginners  often  bring  forth  new  designs,  never 
known  before  and  which  no  one  would  probably  ever  wish  to  see  again,  at  a  marvellous 
speed.  But  in  this,  as  in  everything  else,  the  farther  they  advance  the  more  careful  they  are 
of  their  opinions  and  ideas  as  authority  for  those  whom  they  consider  their  inferiors  in  all 
respects.  Newness,  however,  should  not  be  their  sole  thought,  unless  they  know  that  they 
can  improve  upon  that  which  already  exists  in  the  same  department.  A  new  thing  without 
merit  is  worse  than  an  old  thing  worn  threadbare.  An  entirely  original  piece  of  composi- 
tion is  an  almost  unknown  production,  when  we  consider  the  word  original  to  mean  the 
bringing  into  existence  that  which  was  unknown  before.  Original  ideas  are  not  so  plenty

IT  is  an  evidence  of  a  growing  desire  on  the  part  of  those  interested  in  print- 
ing to  see  it  more  worthily  filling  the  exalted  position  for  which  it  was  surely 
destined.  But  when  we  take  into  consideration  the  long  line  of  years  through- 
out which  our  craft  has  suffered  the  depleting  influences  of  those  who  have 
gone  into  it  to  make  money,  and  that  quickly,  we  must  be  prepared  for  a 
somewhat  arduous  task  in  our  endeavor  to  right  it  again.  ( It  is  hardly  likely 
with  such  an  accumulation  of  evils  as  have  been  heaped  upon  us.)  Let 
us  have  patience.  Rome  was  not  built  in  a  day,  yet  it  did  not  take  old  Nero 
much  longer  than  that  to  reduce  it  to  ashes.  Again  let  us  have  patience.  Who

So  MUCH  has  been  said  about  artistic  printing  that,  at  the  first

could  be  said  had  been  said.  Yet  it  is  not  so.  We  can  scarcely 
open  a  trade  organ  without  seeing  something,  either  good,  bad

WHEN  grief  falls  heavy  on  thee, 
Or  boding  ills  alarm, 
Fear  not  to  lean  upon  me- 

Then,  brother!  take  my  arm. 
There's  many  a  carking  trouble 

That  taketh  two  to  bear, 
And  one  would  bend  quite  double 
Beneath  so  sore  a  care. 

If  malice,  in  its  rancor, 

Has  sought  thy  mortal  harm, 

My  shoulder  be  thine  anchor- 
Here,  brother!  take  my  arm. 

Though  all,  in  time  of  trial, 
May  turn  their  look  away- 

Nay,  brother!  no  denial - 
My  arm  shall  be  thy  stay. 

If  grief  were  mine  to-morrow, 

A  grief  but  love  could  charm, 
Fd  cry,  amid  the  sorrow, 

Good  brother!  give  thine  arm. 
'Tis  Christlike  when  another 

That  sinking  cry  shall  heed; 
For  man  to  man's  a  brother

JAMES  RONALDSON,  the  son  of  William 
Ronaldson,  was  born  1768,  at  Gorgie,  near 
Edinburgh,  and  died  in  the  city  of  Phila- 
delphia in  1842.  In  1794  he  arrived  at 
Philadelphia,  aboard  the  sailing-vessel 
Providence.  Shortly  after  his  arrival  he 
renewed  his  acquaintance  with  Archi- 
bald Binny,  whom  he  had  formerly  met 
when  living  in  Scotland.  For  a  year  or 
two  after  his  arrival  in  this  country 
Ronaldson  carried  on  a  biscuit  bakery. 
His  establishment  was  destroyed  by  fire 
in  1796,  so  that  he  found  himself  out  of 
an  occupation.  It  is  related  that  about 
this  time  he  encountered  Binny  in  an 
ale-house:  their  acquaintance  ripened 
into  a  friendly  intimacy,  and  they  soon 
learned  each  other's  views  and  prospedls. 
The  result  was  that  a  copartnership  was 
formed  between  them,  beginning  Nov. 
i,  1796,  establishing  the  first  permanent 
type-foundry  in  this  country.  Ronaldson 
contributed  the  greater  portion  of  the 
capital,  and  took  charge  of  the  financial 
part  of  the  enterprise.  Binny,  who  was 
a  practical  type-founder,  and  at  one  time 
had  carried  on  the  business  at  Edinburgh, 


contributed  his  tools,  stock  of  metal, 
and  types,  and  assumed  control  of  the 
mechanical  department.  The  connection 
proved  advantageous  to  each  party,  and 
a  prosperous  business  was  the  result. 
American  printers,  who  had  up  to  this 
time  relied  on  British  founders  for  their 
type,  patronized  the  new  establishment, 
and,  to  quote  the  words  of  Ronaldson, 
"the  importation  of  foreign  type  ceased 
in  proportion  as  Binny  &  Ronaldson 
became  known  to  the  printers  of  the 
United  States."  The  type-founding  tools 
and  material,  which  Benjamin  Franklin 
had  brought  with  him  from  France  for  his 
own  convenience  in  casting  sorts,  came 
into  possession  of  the  firm  in  1806.  After 
Dr.  Franklin's  death,  they  became  the 
property  of  Mr.  Duane,  a  relative  of  the 
philosopher,  who,  justly  appreciating  the 
true  ardor  with  which  Messrs.  Binny  & 
Ronaldson  endeavored  to  succeed,  offered 
them  the  loan  of  these  tools.  After  an 
examination  of  them  by  Ronaldson,  he 
was  so  much  pleased  with  the  superiority 
of  a  number  of  them  over  their  own,  and 
fearing  that  Mr.  Duane  might  change  his

TWICE  I  received  a  wholesome  castigation 

For  stealing  to  the  Battery  to  play 

Without  parental  leave  and  approbation — 

I'll  not  forget  it  to  my  latest  day. 

I  told  a  rather  hesitating  story, 

Not  quite  in  keeping  with   my  course  in  youth; 

It  may  have  been  a  crooked  allegory, 

And  did  not  run  in  straight  lines  with  the  truth. 

I  bless  the  rod,  and  bless  the  hand  that  wielded, 

Although  it  made  my  youthful  shoulders   tickle.

LECTURE  ON  THOROUGHNESS 

Thoroughness  in  printing  offices  is  an  accomplishment  that  is  often  neglected  by  those  who  are  learning 
and  by  those  who  are  practicing  the  principles  contained  in  our  high  and  noble  calling.  While  it  is  true 
that  much  is  left  to  the  taste  and  judgment  of  the  workman,  and  much  of  his  success  depends  upon  the 
cultivation  of  taste  and  exercise  of  judgment,  it  is  also  true  that  there  are  numerous  important  fixed  rules 
and  principles  that  no  sensible  printer  will  care  to  ignore;  and  if  he  does  run  counter  to  them  he  does  so 
at  his  own  risk,  and  in  the  end  will  be  more  harmed  than  benefited  by  his  own  stubbornness  or  ignorance. 
Most  printers,  who  set  themselves  up  as  original  and  artistic  printers,  are  original  botches,  and  they  con- 
tinue to  hold  their  own  through  life,  or  until  some  accident  or  combination  of  circumstances  forces  them  to 
see  their  weakness,  when,  if  they  are  not  too  proud  and  conceited,  they  may,  by  patient  industry  and  per- 
severance, hope  to  become  workmen  of  ordinary  ability,  and  spend  the  remainder  of  their  days  in  quiet 
usefulness.  Artistic  workmen  are  few  indeed.  If  a  person  has  enough  artistic  ability  to  be  able  at  all 
times  to  create  forms  of  beauty  and  symmetry  that  will  be  the  wonder  of  his  less  fortunate  neighbors,  he 
can  always  find  employment  more  remunerative.  "Whatever  is  worth  doing  at  all,  is  worth  doing  well," 
is  a  maxim  that  few  follow  because  many  do  not  know  how.  Cheap  Printing  may  serve  a  cheap  man,  but

SOME  ANNOYING  HABITS  POSSESSED  BY  THE  SLOUGHY  PRINTER 

COMMENT  ON  THE  SLOUCH 

A  number  of  interesting  experiments  are  performed  by  compositors  in  the  several 
processes  of  setting,  correcting  and  distributing  type,  that  may  be  justly  classified 
outside  the  pale  of  typographic  tolerance.  As  long  as  the  offender  is  unnoticed  or  not 
discovered  in  his  mean  habits,  just  so  long  will  he  continue  to  exercise  them.  These 
practices,  as  we  all  know,  are  confined  only  to  the  more  incompetent,  or  to  the  work- 
man who  is  intentionally  slovenly.  They  mark  his  course  at  every  turn  in  the  office, 
and  require  little  investigation  to  establish  their  rightful  originator.  What  a  source  of 
annoyance  it  is  to  the  careful  man  to  lift  a  handful  of  matter  for  distribution  and  find  it 
plentifully  interlarded  with  bent  spaces.  This  is  the  lazy  man  or  slouch  graphically 
illustrated.  A  bent  space  might  accidently  occur  in  the  matter,  and  such  a  fact  might 
happen  more  than  once  and  be  forgiven ;  but  where  the  premeditated  reminder  of  so  much 
careless  and  slouchy  spacing  comes  into  the  hands  of  careful  printers  who  use  their  best

THE   EVILS  THAT   BESET  THE   PRINTERS  WHO  GET   LOW   PRICES 

LOW-PRICED  JOB  WORK 

It  has  been  said  that  there  is  less  profit  in  the  printing  business,  for  the 
amount  of  capital  invested  and  the  amount  of  energy  required,  than  in  most  other 
lines  of  business.  There  is  considerable  truth  in  this  without  a  doubt;  though, 
in  a  great  measure  the  fact  of  its  possessing  any  truth  is  more  attributable  to 
the  loose  methods  that  some  printers  resort  to,  than  to  anything  essentially 
necessary  to  and  in  fact  forming  a  part  of  the  business  itself.  It  is  due  to  abuses 
which  have  grown  up  within  the  business,  and  are  tolerated  by  those  engaged  in 
it,  that  it  has  become  unprofitable.  Take,  for  instance,  the  system  of  daily 
soliciting  of  estimates  as  practiced  by  stationers  everywhere.  Many  people, 
through  convenience  or  friendship,  give  their  orders  for  printing  to  their  stationers. 
Use  printers'  ink  applied  by  me,  and  you  will  never  meet  the  sheriff  with  a  red  flag.

A  CLASS  OF  MEN  WHO  NEED  ALL  THE  CUFFS  THEY  GET 

SCORING  THE  PRINTER 

Does  the  printer  read  up  in  his  profession  as  thoroughly  as  he 
should  ?  I  should  say  not.  It  is  a  deplorable  fact,  but  nevertheless 
true,  that,  as  a  class,  the  printers  of  this  country  do  not  keep  read 
up  on  the  subject  of  printing  to  any  extent.  Where  you  find  one 
that  does,  you  will  find  a  dozen  that  do  not.  In  this  day  every  office 
in  the  land  is  kept  supplied  with  all  manner  of  craft  journals,  speci- 
men sheets  of  late  faces,  and  numberless  circulars  describing  new 
inventions  and  novelties  made  for  the  use  of  the  printer ;  yet  but 
very  few  avail  themselves  of  these  opportunities  to  extend  their 
knowledge  of  the  art  that  gains  them  a  living.  More  offices  than 
one  in  the  country  have  dozens  of  printers  in  their  employ  not  one 
of  whom  ever  reads  a  craft  publication.  These  men  work  day  after 
day,  simply  following  furrow  after  furrow,  like  a  horse  dragging  a 
plow,  with  no  object  before  them  except  longing  for  dinner-time  or 
supper-time,  or  Sunday.  And  yet  these  men  are  to  be  called  printers. 
Two  small  heads  are  better  than  one  "big  head"  in  the  work  shop.

Health  is  the  soul  that  animates  all  enjoyments  of  life, 
.which  fade,  and  are  tasteless,  if  not  dead,  without  it.  Man 
starves  at  the  best  and  the  greatest  tables,  makes  faces  at 
the  most  delicate  wines,  is  old  and  impotent  in  seraglios  of 
the  most  sparkling  beauties,  is  poor  and  wretched  in  the 
midst  of  the  greatest  treasures ;  with  diseases,  strength 
grows  decrepit,  youth  loses  vigor  and  beauty  charms;  music 
grows  harsh;  palaces  are  prisons,  or  of  equal  confinement; 
conversation  disagreeable;  riches  are  useless,  honors  and 
attendance  are  cumbersome,  and  crowns  themselves  are  a 
burden.  But  if  diseases  are  painful  and  violent  they  equal 
all  conditions  of  life,  make  no  difference  between  a  prince 
and  a  pauper.  Procrastination  is  the  Thief  of  Profits.

THE  ORIGIN  OF  ROMAN  TYPES,  WITH  CHANGES 
BEFORE  AND  AFTER  REACHING 


Italian  scribes  of  the  fifteenth  century  were 
famous  for  their  beautiful  manuscripts,  written 
1  in  a  hand  entirely  different  from  the  Gothic  of 
the  Germans,  or  the  Secretary  of  the  French  and 
Netherlands  calligraphers.  It  was  only  natural 
that  the  first  Italian  printers,  when  they  set  up 
their  press  at  Subiaco,  should  form  their  letters 
upon  the  best  model  or  the  national  scribes.  The  Cicero  de  Ora- 
tore  of  1465  is  claimed  by  some  as  the  first  book  printed  in  Roman 
type,  although  the  character  shows  that  the  German  artists  who 
printed  it  had  been  unable  wholly  to  shake  off  the  traditions  of 
the  pointed  Gothic  school  of  typography  in  which  they  had  learned 
their  craft.  The  type  of  the  Lactantius,  and  the  improved  type 
of  the  works  subsequently  printed  by  Sweynheim  and  Pannartz 
at  Rome,  as  well  as  those  of  Ulric  Hahn,  were,  in  facL  Gothic- 
Romans  ;  and  it  was  not  till  Nicholas  Jenson,  a  Frenchman,  in 
1470,  printed  his  Eusebii  Praeparatio  at  V  enice,  that  the  true  Ro- 
man appeared  in  Italy,  -which  -was  destined  to  become  the  ruling 
character  in  European  Typography.  Fournier  and  others  have 
considered  that  Jenson  derived  his  Roman  letter  from  a  mixture 
of  alphabets  of  various  countries  ;  but  it  is  only  necessary  to  com- 
pare the  Eusebius  with  the  Italian  manuscripts  of  the  period,  to  see 
that  no  such  elaborate  selection  of  models  was  necessary  or  likely. 
Jensen's  font  is  on  a  body  corresponding  to  English.  The  font  is 
round  and  clear,  and  differing  in  fashion  only  from  its  future  pro- 
geny. The  capital  alphabet  consists  of  twenty-three  letters  (J,  U, 
and  W  not  being  yet  in  use)  ;  the  lower  case  alphabet  is  the  same 
except  that  the  u  is  substituted  for  the  v,  and  in  addition  there  is  a 
long  f,  and  the  diphthongs.  To  complete  the  font,  there  are  fifteen 
contractions,  six  double  letters,  and  three  points,  the  .  :  ?  making 
seventy-three  punches  in  all.  Jensen's  Roman  letter  fell  after  his 
death  into  the  hands  of  a  firm  of  which  Andrea  Torresani  was 
head.  Aldus  Manutius  subsequently  associated  himself  with  Tor- 
resani, and,  becoming  his  son-in-law  and  heir,  eventually  inherited 
his  punches,  matrices,  and  types.  The  Roman  fonts  of  Aldus 
were  eclipsed  by  his  Italic  and  Greek,  but  he  cut  several  fine  alpha- 
bets. Renouard  mentions  eightdistinctfonts  between  1494andf558. 
Roman  type  was  adopted  oef  ore  1473  by  Mentelin  of  Strasburg, 
whose  beautiful  letter  placed  him  in  the  front  rank  of  the  German 
printers.  Gunther  Zainer,  who  settled  at  Augsburg  in  1469,  after 
printing  some  works  in  the  round  Gothic,  also  adopted,  in  1472,

the  Roman  of  the  Venetian  School,  fonts  of  which  he  is 
said  to  have  brought  direct  from  Italy.  The  German  name 
of  Antiqua,  applied  to  the  Roman  character,  has  generally 
been  supposed  to  imply  a  reluctance  to  admit  the  claim  of 
Italy  to  the  credit  of  introducing  this  style  of  letter.  As, 
however,  the  Italians  themselves  called  the  letter  the  Lettera 
Antiqua  tonda,  the  imputation  against  Germany  is  un- 
just. The  French,  Dutch,  and  English  called  it  Roman.

IN  FRANCE,  IN  THE  YEAR 


|  RANGE  received  printing  and  the  Roman 
character  at  the  same  time,  the  first  work  of 
the  Sorbonne  press  in  J470  being  in  a  hand- 
some Roman  letter  about  Great  Primer  in 
size,  with  a  slight  suggestion  of  Gothic  in 
^JS*  some  of  the  characters.  Gering,  a  German 
himself,  and  his  associates,  had  learned  their  art  at  Basle, 
but  cut,  and  probably  designed,  their  own  letter  on  the  best 
available  models.  Their  font  is  rudely  cast,  so  that  several 
of  their  words  appear  only  half-printed  in  the  impression, 
and  have  been  finished  by  hand.  It  has  been  stated  errone- 
ously, by  several  writers,  on  the  authority  of  Chevillier, 
that  their  font  was  without  capitals.  The  font  is  complete 
in  that  respect,  and  Chevillier's  expression,  "lettres  capi- 
tales,"  as  he  himself  explains,  refers  to  the  initial  letters  for 
which  blank  spaces  were  left  to  be  filled  in  by  hand.  Be- 
sides the  ordinary  capital  and  lower-case  alphabets,  the  font 
abounds  in  abbreviations.  This  letter  was  used  in  all  the 
works  of  the  Sorbonne  press,  but  when  Gering  left  the  Sor- 
bonne and  established  himself  at  the  Soleil  aOr,  in  J473, 
he  made  use  of  a  Gothic  letter.  In  his  later  works,  however, 
new  and  greatly  improved  fonts  of  the  Roman  appear. 
Jodocus  Badius,  who  by  some  is  erroneously  supposed  to 
have  been  the  first  who  brought  the  Roman  letters  from 
Italy  to  France,  did  not  establish  his  famous  Prelum  Ascen- 
sianum  in  Paris  till  about  J500,  when  he  printed  in  Roman 
types  —  not,  however,  before  one  or  two  other  French 
printers  had  already  distinguished  themselves  in  the  intro- 
duction of  printing  from  the  adopted  Roman  characters. 
The  French  quickly  recognized  the  opportunities  of  printing, 
but  were  slow  in  improving  the  shapes  of  the  Roman  letter.

ROMAN  WAS  FIRST  USED  IN  THE 
NETHERLANDS  ABOUT 


OMAN  was  introduced  into 
the  Netherlands  by  Johannes 
de  Westfalia,  who,  it  is  said, 
brought  it  from  Italy  in  the  year 
J472.  He  located  at  Louvain, 
and  after  a  number  of  works 
in  semi-Gothic,  published  in  J483  an  edition 
of  Aeneas  Silvius  in  the  Italian  letter.  His 
font  is  elegant,  and  rather  a  lighter  face  than 
most  of  the  early  Roman  fonts  of  other  coun- 
tries. This  printer  appears  to  have  been  the 
only  one  in  the  Low  Countries  who  used  this 
type  during  the  fifteenth  century;  nor  was  it 
till  Plantin,  in  J555,  established  his  famous 
press  at  Antwerp,  that  the  Roman  attained 
to  any  degree  of  excellence.  But  Plantin,  and 
after  him  the  Elzevirs,  were  destined  to  eclipse 
all  other  artists  in  their  execution  of  this  letter, 
which  in  their  hands  became  a  model  for  the 
typography  of  all  civilization.  It  should  be 
mentioned,  however,  that  the  Elzevirs  are  not 
supposed  to  have  cut  their  own  punches.  The 
Roman  types  which  they  made  famous,  and 
which  are  known  by  their  name,  were  cut 
by  Christopher  Van  Dijk,  the  form  of  whose 
letter  was  subsequently  adopted  by  English 
printers  with  only  a  few  immaterial  changes.

WITZERLAND  distinguish- 
ed itself  by  the  Roman  letter  of 
Amerbach  of  Basle,  and  still 
more  so  by  the  beautiful  fonts 
used  by  Froben  of  the  same 

city,  who  between  1491  and 

1527  printed  some  of  the  finest  books  then 
known  in  Europe.  Christopher  Froschouer 
of  Zurich,  about  \  545,  made  use  of  a  peculiar 
and  not  unpicturesque  form  of  the  Roman  let- 
ter, in  which  the  round  sorts  were  thickened, 
after  the  Gothic  fashion,  at  their  opposite  cor- 
ners, instead  of  at  their  opposite  sides.  ^  -^  ^e 

FIRST  INTRODUCED  IN  ENGLAND, 

HE  Roman  was  first  introduced  in 
England  in  J  5  J  8  by  Richard  Pyn- 
son.  This  printer's  Norman  birth, 
and  his  close  relationship  with  the 


typographers  of  Rouen,  together  with  his  sup- 
posed intimacy  with  the  famous  Basle  typog- 
rapher Froben,  make  it  highly  probable  that 
he  procured  his  letter  abroad,  or  modelled  it  on 
that  of  some  of  the  celebrated  foreign  printers 
of  his  day.  The  font,  though  neat  and  bold  in 
appearance,  displays  considerable  irregularity 
in  the  casting,  and  has  many  contractions.^

JHE  Roman  made  its  way  rapidly  in 
English  typography  during  die  first 
half  of  the  sixteenth  century,  and  in 

the  hands  of  such  artists  as  Faques, 

Rastefl,  Wyer,  Berthelet,  and  Day,  maintained 
an  average  excellence*  But  it  rapidly  degener- 
ated, and  while  other  countries  were  dazzling 
Europe  by  the  brilliancy  of  their  impressions, 
the  English  Roman  letter  went  from  good  to 
bad,  and  from  bad  to  worse.  While  Claude 
Garamond  in  France  was  carrying  into  noble 
practice  the  theories  of  the  form  and  proportion 
of  letters  set  out  by  his  master,  Geofroy  Tory; 
while  the  Estiennes  at  Paris,  Sebastian  Gryphe 
at  Lyons,  Froben  at  Basle,  Froschouer  at  Zu- 
rich, and  Christopher  Plantin  at  Antwerp,  were 
moulding  their  alphabets  into  models  that  were 
to  become  classical,  English  printers,  manacled 
body  and  soul  by  their  patents  and  monopolies 
and  state  persecutions,  achieved  nothing  with 
the  Roman  type  that  was  not  retrograde*  For 
a  time  a  struggle  appears  to  have  existed  be- 
tween the  Black-letter  and  the  Roman  for  the 
mastery  of  the  English  press,  and  at  one  period 
the  curious  spectacle  was  presented  of  mixed 
fonts  of  the  two*^  *£*£*&*£«£*£«

The  poetical  temperament  of  Columbus  is  discernible  throughout  his  writ- 
ings, and  in  all  his  actions.  It  spread  a  golden  and  glorious  world  around 
him,  and  tinged  everything  with  its  own  gorgeous  colors.  It  betrayed  him 
into  visionary  speculations,  which  subjected  him  to  the  sneers  and  cavil- 
lings of  men  of  cooler  and  safer  but  more  grovelling  minds.  Such  were 
the  opinions  formed  on  the  coast  of  Paria,  about  the  form  of  the  earth,  and 
the  situation  of  the  terrestial  paradise ;  about  the  mines  of  Ophir,  in  His- 
paniola,  and  of  the  Aurea  Chersonesus,  in  Veragua ;  and  such  was  the 
heroic  scheme  of  the  crusade  for  the  recovery  of  the  holy  sepulchre.  It 
mingled  with  his  religion,  and  filled  his  mind  with  solemn  and  visionary 
meditations  on  mystic  passages  of  the  scriptures,  and  the  shadowy  por- 
tents of  the  prophecies.  It  exalted  his  office  in  his  eyes,  and  made  him 
conceive  himself  an  agent  sent  upon  a  sublime  and  awful  mission,  subject 
to  impulses  and  supernatural  visions  from  the  Deity ;  such  as  the  voice  he 
imagined  spoke  to  him  in  comfort,  amidst  the  troubles  of  Hispaniola,  and 
in  the  silence  of  the  night,  on  the  disastrous  coast  of  Veragua.  He  was

around  him,  and  tinged  everything  with  its  own  gorgeous  colors.  It 
betrayed  him  into  visionary  speculations,  which  subjected  him  to  the 
sneers  and  cavillings  of  men  of  cooler  and  safer  but  more  grovelling 
minds.  Such  were  the  opinions  formed  on  the  coast  of  Paria,  about 
the  form  of  the  earth,  and  the  situation  of  the  terrestrial  paradise; 
about  the  mines  of  Ophir,  in  Hispaniola,  and  of  the  Aurea  Chersonesus, 
in  Veragua ;  and  such  was  the  heroic  scheme  of  the  crusade  for  the  re- 
covery of  the  holy  sepulchre.  It  mingled  with  his  religion,  and  filled  his 
mind  with  solemn  and  visionary  meditations  on  mystic  passages  of  the 
scriptures,  and  the  shadowy  portents  of  the  prophecies.  It  exalted 
his  office  in  his  eyes,  and  made  him  conceive  himself  an  agent  sent  upon 
a  sublime  and  awful  mission,  subject  to  impulses  and  supernatural 
visions  from  the  Deity;  such  as  the  voice  he  imagined  spoke  to  him

The  faculty  of  memory,  which  receives  and  retains  ideas  and  images,  and  which  exhibits 
them  again  with  or  without  the  exercise  of  volition,  early  became  the  subject  of  philo- 
sophical research.  There  are  very  many  curious  phenomena  connected  with  this  power 
of  the  mind;  it  is  sometimes  as  recreant  to  its  trust,  when  most  its  service  may  be  required, 
as  the  veriest  bankrupt;  at  other  times,  when  in  a  fit  of  strange  caprice,  it  will  obtrude 
upon  us  in  a  most  unwelcome  and  unceremonious  manner,  heaping  upon  us  thoughts  and 
things  we  would  willingly  bury  in  oblivion.  Yet,  after  all,  memory  is  indispensable  to 
moral  economy;  its  aid  is  as  much  required  in  things  mean  as  in  things  immense.  With- 
out this  mysterious  private  secretary,  we  could  not  enact  our  several  parts  on  the  arena  of 
life;  our  boasted  being  would  be  reduced  to  a  mere  vegetable  existence.  Memory  is  said 
to  be  essential  to  every  kind  of  action;  timid  animals  are  instigated  to  avoid  capture,  and 
to  flee  from  the  attacks  of  the  very  ferocious,  more  from  the  remembrance  of  the  conse- 
quences of  previous  sufferings  than  from  what  we  are  accustomed  to  call  instinct.  It  is  re- 
corded that  on  the  first  discovery  of  the  Falkland  Islands,  hares  and  foxes,  as  well  as  birds, 
quietly  suffered  themselves  to  be  taken.  If  a  dog,  for  example,  is  well  punished  for  an 
offence,  he  is  not  likely  often  to  repeat  the  act.  We  can  only  speak  of  the  function  as  an 
attribute  of  mind  in  metaphors;  such  as  the  tablets  of  memory,  a  storehouse  of  ideas, 
and  the  like;  but  the  thing  is  intangible  and  inconceivable  as  to  its  nature.  Memory 
seems  to  require  an  increase  of  its  retentive  power  over  the  objects  derivable  through  the 
senses  of  sight,  sound,  and  touch;  for  example,  a  cherished  form  and  face,  the  accents 
of  a  voice  we  have  loved,  a  magnificent  landscape,  or  a  superb  structure,  make  a  deep

rPHE  first  number  of  The  Century  appeared 
J_  in  a  modernized  old-style  type,  which 
was  then  something  of  a  novelty.  It  had 
never  been  used  in  any  similar  publication, 
and  it  gave  distinction  to  the  page.  It  had 
authority  in  its  favor,  as  the  outgrowth  of  a 
style  (shown  on  pages  96/-96A,  of  the  speci- 
men book),  introduced  by  WILLIAM  CASLON 
of  London  about  1720,  and  then  so  pleas- 
ingly cut  that  it  broke  down  every  attempt 
at  rivalry.  For  seventy  years  it  was  com- 
mended as  incomparably  the  best  cut  of 
type,  but  it  went  out  of  fashion.  At  the 
beginning  of  the  present  century  readers 


demanded  new  styles,  and  the  type- 
J_  founders  provided  them  in  profusion : 
the  Thome  fat-face  of  prodigious  blackness  ; 
the  Didot  round-face,  not  quite  as  black  or 
fat-faced;  the  Bodoni,  with  round  letters  and 
sharp  hair-lines;  the  French  poetic  face,  com- 
pressed to  the  extreme  of  tenuity;  the  so- 
called  Scotch-face  (devised  by  the  late  S.  N. 
DICKINSON  of  Boston,  who  established  the 
Dickinson  Type  Foundry,  the  Boston  Branch 
of  the  American  Type  Founders'  Company, 
although  first  cut  in  Edinburgh);  and  the 
skeleton  light-face,  with  its  razor-edged 
hair-lines  and  needle-like  pointed  stems,

WHEN  PICKERING  and  WHITTINGHAM  revived  the  CASLON  Old-Style,  in  1850,  using 
the  identical  matrices  of  the  old  master,  the  connoisseurs  said,  "  Now  at  last  we 
have  returned  to  simplicity  and  beauty :  this  is  perfection."  Yet  it  was  admired 
by  bibliophiles  only ;  dainty  readers  did  not  approve  of  its  angular  letters  and  its 
disproportioned  capitals.  Accepted  for  reprints  of  old  books,  it  was  rejected  for 
modern  work.  To  make  it  palatable  to  the  general  reader,  type-founders  devised 
a  "modernized  old-style,"  in  which  harsh  features  were  modified  and  new  features 
of  greater  delicacy  were  added.  So  changed,  it  became  a  more  salable  letter,  but 
it  never  found  marked  favor  with  the  ordinary  newspaper  or  the  book  publisher. 
Critics  said  of  it  (too  severely,  we  think)  that  the  strong  features  of  the  Caslon  face 
had  been  suppressed,  and  that  the  new  features  were  no  improvement ;  that  it  had 
been  made  lighter,  sharper,  and  broader,  until  its  true  character  had  been  cut  to  pieces.

T)IBLIOPHILES  still  prefer  the  cut  of  CASLON  ;  with  all  its  admitted  faults, 
-D  it  is  blacker,  clearer,  and  more  readable.  The  average  reader  rejects  the 
angularities  of  the  old  and  the  new  cut,  and  prefers  the  symmetry  of  types 
of  modern  fashion.  In  the  bewildering  variety  of  faces  devised  during  this 
century,  one  peculiarity,  the  sharp  hair-line  (a  fashion  introduced  by  BODONI 
and  DIDOT,  in  imitation  of  the  delicate  lines  of  the  copper-plate  printer),  has 
never  been  changed.  When  printing  was  done  upon  wet  paper,  against  an 
elastic  blanket,  the  hair-line  was  necessarily  thickened  by  its  impress  against 
the  yielding  paper,  which  over-lapped  the  sides  of  every  line.  Under  this 
treatment  the  hair-line  appeared  thicker  in  print  than  in  type,  and  was  un- 
objectionable to  printer  or  reader ;  but  when  the  new  method  began  (as  it 
did  in  1872)  of  printing  on  dry  and  smooth  paper  against  an  inelastic  surface

MR.  THEODORE  L.  DEVINNE  ON  THE  CENTURY  ROMAN. 

(From  The  Century,  March,  1896.) 

[NOTE. — This  series  of  modern  Roman  type  was  cut  by  the  American  Type  Founders'  Company 
for  The  Century,  in  accordance  with  the  suggestions  and  under  the  supervision  of  Mr.  THEODORE 
L.  DEViNNE,  the  eminent  printer  of  that  magazine.  The  punches  were  cut  on  the  Benton 
punch-cutting  machine  from  one  set  of  drawings.  A  very  complete  line  of  accents  has  been 
added  to  meet  the  requirements  of  high-class  book  and  magazine  work.] 

the  narrowness  of  the  measure  com- 
pels an  overturning  and  mangling  of 
lines,  a  waste  of  space,  and  needless 
irritation  to  the  reader.  Experiment 
proved  that  a  book-type  moderately 
compressed  and  properly  cut  was  as 
readable  as  round  or  expanded  type 
Compressed  types,  first  made  in  Hol- 
land in  1732,  ever  since  have  been 
more  largely  used  than  types  of  any 
other  cut  by  the  printers  of  France 
and  southern  Europe.  In  dictionaries 
and  books  of  two  or  more  columns 
to  the  page,  the  compressed  face  is 
a  necessity.  The  slightness  of  the 
compression  in  this  new  face  will  be 
perceived  at  a  glance  in  a  compari- 
son of  the  alphabets  of  the  old  and 
of  the  new  face  as  here  submitted. 


A  GREAT  change  has  taken  place  in 
Xi.  the  taste  of  readers,  who  have 
wearied  of  light  types  and  gray  im- 
pressions. There  is  an  unmistakable 
demand  for  bold  and  stronger  print. 
American  type-founders  recently  in- 
troduced several  styles  of  bold  and 
black  letter — for  publishers  and  ad- 
vertisers, as  well  as  for  bibliophiles. 
The  "Jenson,"  "Monotone,"  and  the 
"  DeVinne  "  are  in  high  favor  with  all, 
not  for  their  novelty  of  form,  but  for 
their  greater  legibility.  With  these 
evidences  before  them  of  a  general 
preference  for  bolder  types,  the  pub- 
lishers of  The  Century  decided  that 
they  would  swim  with  the  tide,  and 
have  types  of  larger  face  and  thicker 
hair-lines.  According  to  old  rules, 
Roman  types  would  be  bolder  and 
more  readable  when  made  larger  and 
wider.  Experiments  made  with  broad 
letters  proved  that  increased  expan- 
sion did  not  always  secure  increased 
legibility.  The  broad  and  round  faces 
which  seemed  so  beautiful  in  large- 
margined  pages  of  Bodoni  and  Didot 
were  not  all  beautiful  (quite  the  re- 
verse) when  printed  in  double  columns 
on  a  page  with  narrow  margins.  To 
use  types  in  which  the  thick  strokes 
of  each  type  are  unduly  spread  apart 
on  a  page  with  narrow  margins  is  an 
incongruity  that  cannot  be  justified. 
When  margins  are  ample,  and  space 
is  not  pinched,  types  may  be  broad 
and  even  expanded.  When  the  page 
is  over-full,  the  types  should  be  com- 
pressed to  suit  the  changed  condition. 
The  fault  of  over-broad  type  is  most 
noticed  in  books  of  poetry,  in  which

THE  OLD  FACE. 

The  new  face  is  as  wide  as  the  old; 
it  has  as  much  open  space  within  as 
without  each  letter,  and  just  as  many 
letters  to  the  line;  it  has  the  greater 
clearness  of  a  thickened  hair-line.  It 
seems  to  be  compressed  only  because 
it  is  taller,  but  this  increase  of  height 
amounts  to  only  sixty-five  ten-thous- 
andths (6%oooo)  of  an  inch. 

The  story  of  the  designing  of  this  face 
is  too  full  of  technical  detail  to  interest 
the  casual  reader.  Only  a  maker  of  in- 
struments of  precision  can  appreciate  the 
subservient  tools,  gauges,  and  machines 
that  show  aberrations  of  a  ten-thousandth 
part  of  an  inch ;  only  an  expert  punch 
cutter  can  understand  why  minute  geo-

PERILS  OF  COLUMBUS  ON  HIS  VOYAGE  OF  DISCOVERY  TO  THE  WESTWARD 
JDICATIONS  of  approaching  land  became  more  certain,  and  excited  hopes  in 


proportion.  The  birds  began  to  appear  in  flocks,  making  towards  the  south- 
west. Columbus,  in  imitation  of  Portuguese  navigators  who  had  been  guided 
in  several  of  their  discoveries  by  motion  of  birds,  altered  his  course  from  due  west 
toward  that  quarter  whither  they  pointed  their  flight.  But,  after  holding  on  for 
several  days  in  this  new  direction,  without  any  better  success  than  formerly,  having 
seen  no  object  during  thirty  days  but  the  sea  and  sky,  the  hopes  of  his  companions

[TjljESPAIR,  impatience  and  rage  appeared  in  every  countenance.  All  sense  of  subordination 
ILEJI  was  lost,  and  a  scene  of  confusion  ensued.  The  officers  who  had  previously  concurred 
with  Columbus  in  opinion,  and  supported  his  authority,  took  part  with  the  private  seamen, 
and  they  assembled  tumultuously  on  the  deck,  expostulated  with  their  commander,  mingled 
threats  with  their  expostulations,  and  wanted  him  to  tack  about  and  return  to  Europe,  which 
he  was  loth  to  do.  Columbus  perceived  that  it  would  be  of  no  avail  to  have  recourse  to  any 
of  his  former  arts,  which,  having  been  tried  so  often,  had  now  lost  their  effect  and  that  it  was 
impossible  to  rekindle  any  zeal  for  the  success  of  the  expedition  among  men  in  whose  breasts

Gutenberg  continued  printing  at  Strasburg

Che  credit  of  inventing  the  art  wbicb  perpetuates  tbe 
history  and  achievements  of  all  the  arts  and  sciences 
has  been  obstinately  contested,  several  cities  having 
advanced  rival  claims  to  the  honor  of  the  discovery, 
this, however,  should  be  no  matter  of  surprise  when 
we  consider  that  the  inventor  of  any  new  art,  unpro- 
tected by  law,  would  naturally  endeavor  to  conceal  its 
process  for  his  own  use  and  advantage. «  Hfter  due

Distributing  Machine 


Hundreds  in  use  by  leading   Book 
Printers  and  Newspaper  Pub- 
lishers in   the   United    States, 

Canada,  Great   Britain  and  Europe. 


THE    THORNE    is    the    only 

type-setting  machine  which  dis- 
tributes its  own  type.    The  two 

operations    may   be    performed 

simultaneously,  or  separately,  as 

desired. 
THE  THORNE  occupies  very 

little    space,    runs     easily    and 

noiselessly,  and  is  operated  with 

slight  exertion.     It  is  simple  in 

its    mechanism    and    processes, 

and  very  durable. 
THE  THORNE  reduces  the  cost  of  composition  one-half, 

while  the  quality  of  the  work  equals  best  hand  type-setting. 
THE   THORNE  is  the  only  type-setting  machine  that  has 

proved  successful  during  a  long  period  of  years.     Dozens  of 

other  experimental  machines  have  been  tried — the  Thorne 

alone  has  stood  the  test  of  time.

DiffkUlt  Printing.  —  The  finest  color,  cut  and  solid  color  block 
work,  as  well  as  embossing,  can  be  done  easily  and  per- 
fectly only  on  this  type  of  press,  because  it  excels  all 
others  in  strength,  rigidity,  register  and  durability,  and 
has  better  distribution  and  facilities  for  extra  rolling. 


Printing  can  be  done  profitably,  because  rapidly, 
with  extra  quick  make-ready.  Recent  improvements 
make  the  1897  model  a  Fast  Press. 

THE  SURE  WAY  to  do  the  best  printing  is  to  do  it  on  the  Best  Job 
Press  made,  which,  after  a  quarter  century's  experience,  is  conceded  to  be 
the  Gaily  Universal  Press.  Several  of  these  have  been  in  use  for  nineteen 
years  in  the  MacKellar,  Smiths  &  Jordan  Specimen  Printing  Department.
